Hand made from vegetable tanned (sometimes known as botanically tanned) black English Bridle Leather, made in the traditional fashion using natural plant tannins such as tree bark. This process is entirely organic using no harsh chemicals, resulting in a leather that feels beautiful and ages just the way you always want, but so rarely get. It has been worked full of natural oils and waxes ensuring it will age beautifully. The leather is cut from the butt section of the hide, this is the strongest, most durable and most expensive section of the skin, starting out quite stiff but soon softening up into a gloriously supple state.

The buckle is cast from solid brass without any coatings, by a small family run foundry in the midlands of England who are also suppliers to the military and royal family.
